The more Jessica and I talked about the reception, the more we thought it would be nice if the grandkids could be involved in some way, shape or form. So, we talked about some things and then decided that it might be necessary to do a rehearsal of sorts with the kids. I also decided it would be nice to do a rehearsal dinner. The dinner and rehearsal happened Friday night. Here are those pictures:

| Contrary to the way it looks, that is my arm around Mark, not Jessica's. HA! Couldn't have done that if we tried! |
Earlier in the morning on Friday, Jessica and Araya and I went to the church and decorated the Fellowship hall for the reception. It was beautiful! Jessica's decorations, inspired by Pinterest, turned out beautifully! She worked so hard on it to make it beautiful for her momma! My sister-in-law, Jennifer, who lives in Ohio, too, helped Jessica! Thanks so much, to the both of you! It truly was beautifully done! Here are some pictures of the decorations:

And, now for the actual reception. I had a video taken of the kids coming down the aisle, but it is way too big to post! Sorry!

It was a great day! Thank You, Lord, for Your blessings on us! Thank You for the plans You have for our good and Your glory! Our prayer is that we keep You front and center of our marriage and that we honor You in all things! Help us to unite our two families in the love of Christ! And our prayer is that You will save our lost family members!
